He will have a good chance of lifting his second French Open title if Nadal loses before the final or if he meets and beats Thiem in the semi final.
OP, don't rule out Thiem either. He truly believes he is the second best clay court player today, especially at RG. When he plays well without...

Nadal bageled the same Del Potro who had outplayed and outlasted Federer who as seen as a favourite by many Federer fans. Nadal started off the tournament slow but was in top gear by the time he played Del Potro. When Nadal plays that good at USO, only Djokovic has been able to beat him which...

Kevin played the best tennis of his career in the tournament. Nadal's level was too strong for him in the final. Roddick obviously was also a much better player at his best than Kevin Anderson. Still, he was a huge underdog against Federer, like how Berdych has been against Nadal. Federer's only...

No, it's not his strongest Slam victory. I don't dispute that. However, if you'd watch his matches, you'd have noticed that by the 2nd set of his QF match against Del Potro, Nadal had raised his level, comparable to his 2013 form. He served bigger, hit more DTL forehands at will and making very...

RG director was commenting on the Rome incident. This is what he said:
“I do not know what will happen to Kyrgios. He is very talented but when goes outside the way, sometimes he exaggerates”, he further added.
Nick Kyrgios slammed his racket and kicked a bottle before throwing a chair during...

Whatever it was, they made it clear that they don't like Nick either. And Kyrgios eventually pulled out of the tournament. If Kyrgios doesn't get his acts together, he may soon find himself running out of favour with several tournaments.

The past few weeks have seen Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios surrounded in several controversies. One of them included him throwing a chair on the court during at the Italian Open. The Roland Garros tournament director Guy Forget addressed the situation and believes that the player will be...

As a fan, you want your favourite player to retire while still playing at a high level. You don't want to see them struggling against the field. It's painful to go be going through this phase when it happens.
That being said, I'd still want my favourite player to play for as long as they want...
